Strong verbs are words like agree, receive, analyze, inquire, announce, replace, assume, etc. They command attention.
Weak verbs are words like am, are, is, has, made, make, was, were, etc. Although useful, they're considered weak because they appear so often in writing.
Wordiness occurs when a strong verb (analyze) is turned into a noun (analysis) and a requisite weak verb (make) is added.
